Masonic York Rite Royal Arch High Priest Jewel on Ribbon. Gold (likely) jewel in shape of three deltas behind a square which features a grid of twelve blocks of color including red, brown, pink, blue, green, white, and black. In black enamel on each delta is the Tetragrammaton. On reverse, three deltas have various symbols in them including music notes, Hebrew symbols, and a stylized "P". Jewel is attached via an o-ring to a red grosgrain ribbon (likely synthetic).
This item belonged to Emil Cruz. Cruz (1904–1983), born in the Philippines, emigrated to the United States in 1924 at the age of 19 and eventually worked as a jeweler. He was a member of Schiller Lodge No. 263 and Damascus Commandery No. 42, both located in Detroit.
